Oil India Ltd has significantly ramped up crude production from Rajasthan's Thar desert. The state-run company achieved a record output of 1,202 barrels per day from the Jodhpur sandstone formation. The crude oil is transported to ONGC facilities in Gujarat and then sent to the Koyali refinery. The company used advanced recovery techniques, including Cyclic Steam Stimulation, to extract high-viscosity crude. Oil India has completed CSS operations in 19 wells and drilled 13 new wells during the year. The success will help reduce India's dependence on imported crude and enhance long-term energy resilience.
